Open your sdcard from pc/phone explorer and search if their is a file called ".nomedia" in music and galary folder if yes then delet that file and restart your phone. music and galary will be back

If not try to backup your sdcard and format it from phone and try again

put your files from sd card to your pc via card reader,format your sd card through card reader,put it back to phone,check via any file explorer on your device that the card is shown on your phone,pull out the card,transfer your files to your sd card via card reader,insert it back to the phone,check the gallery...

Try to reboot your device

Try to reboot your device and see what happens. I encounter the same problem and decided to reboot. Doing that solves my problem. :angel:

I have a similar problem, the photos that I upload to outlook, facebook.... now appears duplicated in gallery, when physically not.

I've tried clean /cache, dalvik cache, re-mount sdcard, reboot phone.. but these methods has no effect :(

I'll try to make a backup of dcim photos in another folder, reboot, then put again the photos.

PD: also I tried to delete the famous .nomedia file, but I don't founded it!
